A European view of our Western parks

This book is a refreshing, VERY well-photographed coffee-table work on the national parks of our Western States. Both author and publisher are British. The text is easily read, and is organized on a park-by-park basis, following an introductory chapter. The reader is given a photographic viewpoint different from that of the usual American brand of telephoto and wide-angle pictures that leave distorted expectations. Most, if not all photos are realistic depictions of things a first-time tourist might honestly expect to see. The treatment of the Utah and Arizona parks, and Crater Lake is especially good. The book evoked many pleasant memories for me. I heartily commend it to all, especially persons who have never visited these wonderful crown jewels of our nation.
